We had a wonderful stay at the Hope and Glory... - Review of Hope and Glory Inn

We had a wonderful stay at the Hope and Glory Inn. Everyone we met--including the owners and the woman at the front desk--went out of their way to make sure we felt welcome. The facility is beautifully decorated and breakfast was delicious. Everything was just perfect, and I highly recommend this charming B&B!

We spent a birthday celebration on a Thursday night here recently, and were so pleased that we chose this inn. Being peopprietors of our own bed and breakfast, we have high standards, and they were definitely met! Not only is the inn a peaceful retreat from bustling everyday life, but it is beautifully decorated in an upscale shabby chic decor, with whimsical touches everywhere. The owners were delightful, helpful, and couldn't be nicer. We loved our room, number three, decorated in blue and yellow, with an upstairs balcony, offering a view of the nicely landscaped grounds. The bathroom was large and absolutely spotless! Do not miss their adorable bar "Detention," the cutest little bar possible! We had cocktails there prior to dinner, and a brandy there after dinner.

Dinner was spectacular! The chic dining room, decorated in a sophisticated palette of white, taupe, and black, with twinkling lights, was absolutely stunning, and the epitome of romantic dining. Dinner was really delicious, featuring local oysters and rockfish. The piece de resistance was the divine sticky toffee pudding, the best we have ever eaten, even in England! Warm, rich, perfect!

We can't rave enough about how much we enjoyed our stay!

We received a gift for a one night stay, but after reviewing online realized a two night stay was more to our liking. We were right! Suffice to say, it's difficult to write something original, beyond what's already been written, so I highly recommend seeing some reviews before this as they're quite appropriate. What most impressed me was the amount of crafted whimsey found throughout the property. Very intentional and most effective. What becomes even more amazing are the "amentities" found both within and out into the village of Irvington. Peggy and Dudley maintain a treasure. Mezzert is a warm and wonderful hostess and Anne is a delightful chef that turns simple into elegant. The warmth experienced here is genuine and given as though you are a dear friend who's come to visit in their home. That is a rare find, and one that deserves to be emulated elsewhere. We'll return.

I am very fortunate to live on Virginia's Northern Neck, only a few miles from the Hope and Glory Inn and the Tides Inn in Irvington. Many reviewers have lauded the marvelous accommodations and the charming owners of the Hope and Glory, Peggy and Dudley Patteson, and I agree with all that praise! In addition to the Inn and the hosts, the Hope and Glory has offered cooking lessons and dinner conducted by their marvelous Chef, Ann Kirkmyer. These have been great fun as well as scrumptous! Ann is a Paris-trained chef with a delightful personality. She put together four different menus offered over the winter months. My husband and I took the sophisticated retro dinner class featuring martinis, Steak Diane and cherries jubilee, and the easy entertaining class featuring champagne and coq au vin. One can take the class and stay for dinner, take the class only, or come for dinner only. We did both. Ann has inventive ways of taking basic ingredients, like peas or potatoes, and turning them into very special side dishes, using ingredients that can be purchased on the Northern Neck. After the demonstration class, the "students" retire to the cocktail lounge of the H&G for a drink, then head back to the dining room to taste the delicious food prepared from the menu. The classes are small and fun. Even though the winter has now given way to spring and the classes will not be available until later in the year, Ann is the full-time chef at the Inn and her dinners are available from Thursday through Monday. You will be charmed and your taste buds will be thrilled!

My husband and I, sadly, just left Hope and Glory Inn. We have been in Virginia for less than a week and have about 5 more days to go on a whirlwind tour. We really should have planned more time in this lovely little town and less...anywhere else.We stayed in a cottage out back and it was delightful. The furnishings were comfortable, decorations so pleasant, and the rocking chairs on the front porch were exactly what we needed. We felt pampered from the moment we arrived, as another reviewer said, "without an ounce of stuffiness." Every need was answered and we had the quiet serenity we craved. Maraset welcomed us as a perfect hostess always will, and Peggy handled every curveball we sent with complete grace. Several different times we needed something out of the ordinary, but that didn't faze these innkeepers. Need a place to make a four hour phone call? Check. Gotta hang out somewhere after check out? Check. Leave your backpack? Check. I sure hope we have a chance to come back to the Irvington area. Hope and Glory will be our destination, for sure.

Room Tip: We loved Cottage 5. If you don't like stairs, though, pick a different one. They seem to be all...

Staying at the Hope and Glory Inn was one of the highlights of our Virginia roadtrip. Near Stratford Hall in the Northern Neck, The H&G exceeded all our expectations. Peggy and Dudley are wonderful hosts, the rooms are beautifully decorated and exceedingly comfortable, and the dinner in the restaurant sublime. My family cannot wait to return to the Hope and Glory.

Room Tip: We had cottage six and it was fantastic.

The inn is beautiful, as wonderful as the pictures and much more. Both the the cottage we stayed in and all of the common areas offered comfort and class without an ounce of stuffiness. The staff were all attentive and helpful without being intrusive. Peggy and Dudley are the consumate innskeepers. The provide a delicious breakfast, wonderful conversation and great advice about the area.
